Chapter 20

At first, upon hearing this, many people had strange expressions on their faces.

Are these things that humans can actually do?

One must know, the gods are the Seven Archons of the mortal world!

They hold an incomparable status in Teyvat!

Many people might struggle to see even one in their entire lifetime.

Yet the Traveler not only met them, but also committed so many acts of disrespect!

One can only say, as expected of the Traveler~

With the foreshadowing of the previous events, they weren't too surprised.

However,

Upon hearing the final item, everyone's face revealed a look of shock.

Some even rubbed their eyes, as if doubting they had heard correctly.

What?

The Hydro Archon, who always judges others, is now being judged by the Traveler?

And it even includes the Iudex Neuvillette, the Champion Duelist Clorinde,

and the people of Fontaine??

Once these words were spoken, it was as if a bomb had been thrown onto a calm lake.

Teyvat was instantly stirred into an uproar.

It was no less significant than the previous "Assassination of the Geo Archon" event!

【Ordinary Chat Group】

【Malles: How can this be? Why would the Traveler judge Lady Furina with so many people?】

【Silver: What on earth happened? How could we possibly be disrespectful to Lady Furina?】

【Abel: Impossible, how could Lord Neuvillette be among them?】

【Kawa: Could it be that Lady Hydro Archon committed some crime?】

【Sedene: Absolutely impossible! Lady Furina has always cherished Fontaine.】

【Albert: Joining outsiders to judge your own deity? You Fontaine people are truly brave!】

【Teppei: Exactly, exactly!】

【Grand Sage: By comparison, our Akademiya is simply incredibly tolerant.】

【Luzene: One rebels against their own deity, another imprisons their own deity, how do you two nations have the nerve to speak?】

【Tian Tiezui: That's right! In Liyue, this is simply unimaginable!】

【...】

On the other side, 【Transcendent Chat Group】

【Zhong Li: I never expected that the Opera Epiclese, which has always judged criminals, would one day judge its own deity...】

【Eula: If it were just the Traveler, that would be one thing, but you Fontaine people actually joined in too??】

【Barbara: To categorize it, I simply cannot imagine a day where Mondstadt would judge Lord Barbatos.】

【Xiao: To judge one's own deity, what great disrespect!】

【Kujou Sara: More than just disrespect? It is simply treason!!】

【Nilou: I really cannot imagine what could have happened.】

【Tartaglia: Tsk tsk, interesting, truly interesting~】

【Dottore: Heh, compared to Fontaine, the Sumeru people seem just about the same.】

【Signora: Joining outsiders to force the Hydro Archon's hand? Even more spectacular than the situation in Inazuma!】

【Charlotte: Mr. Neuvillette, Clorinde, and other Fontaine people... what on earth happened?】

【Navia: Impossible! How could we judge Lady Furina?】

【Clorinde: That's right! The people of Fontaine, including myself, love and respect Lady Furina! It is absolutely impossible for us to do such a thing!】

【Wriothesley: Would Neuvillette really do such a thing?】

【Neuvillette:...】

【Chevreuse: Although the light screen is teasing, some of the content must be true!】

【Kamisato Ayaka: That's right, it couldn't be that the Traveler instigated you all to commit such an act of disrespect, right?】

【Yanfei: If that's the case, then this lawsuit will be hard to win.】

【Hu Tao: If it's hard to win, then don't fight it! @Lumine @Paimon, you two, this Hall Master thinks it's very necessary for you to make a booking! There's a discount if you purchase now~】

【Lumine:...】

【Paimon:...】

Palais Mermonia, Neuvillette's office.

"What?"

"Speaking ill of the Anemo Archon, freeloading off the Geo Archon, fighting the Electro Archon, and now joining outsiders to judge me, the God of Justice?"

"Death penalty, death penalty~"

Upon hearing this, Furina jumped up immediately.

She wished she could judge this despicable Traveler right away!

But she is the one who has been acting as the Hydro Archon to hide the truth from the world for five hundred years!

After calming down, she quickly discovered something was wrong.

Looking at the scene on the light screen where she was being interrogated and judged by everyone, a flash of inspiration struck her mind.

Then, her expression became somewhat complex.

There was shock, confusion, realization, sadness, and anxiety...

"So that's how it is..."

At this moment, Furina finally understood the meaning of the words from the person in the mirror.

This so-called grand, dramatic judgment was never about judging the Traveler?

It was clearly about judging her, the Hydro Archon!

After the Traveler arrives here, she will judge herself together with the others in Fontaine!

There should... be nothing more dramatic than this...

Watching herself sitting alone on the stage shedding tears on the light screen, tears also fell from Furina's eyes involuntarily.

Beside her, Neuvillette was also frowning tightly.

"Although this is intended as a tease, it does contain some real content."

"If this is the future, then what on earth happened?"

"Why would I join the Traveler and other Fontaine people to put Lady Furina in the defendant's seat?"

"Could it be... because of that prophecy?"

Although the information displayed on the light screen was minimal, Neuvillette was, after all, a smart man.

He quickly associated it with the prophecy of Fontaine.

He also roughly guessed the real reason for the "rebellion."

Thinking of this, Neuvillette looked at Furina, who was sitting on the sofa.

Seeing that her condition was not right, he hurriedly walked over.

"Lady Furina?"

There was no response, so Neuvillette called out a few more times.

"Lady Furina?"

"Eh?"

"Wha... what is it?"

Furina finally came back to her senses.

Feeling that her state was not right, she hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Seeing this scene, Neuvillette hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Lady Furina, I wonder how you view the situation on the light screen?"

"How else could I view it?"

"Of course, it's the death penalty!"
